![]() (I mostly listen on my phone using Overcast.) I checked out a bunch of RSS readers-NetNewsWire 5, Reeder, Vienna, Leaf, News Explorer-but none seem to support auto-downloading attachments. So I’m looking for a replacement app for archiving podcasts. You can tell it’s a Catalyst app because instead of sheets you get these little popovers with narrow, rounded text fields and flat buttons like in no other Mac app. There’s no list of shows, just a grid of icons. There’s no standard table view of all the episodes. Overall, the Mac version of Podcasts seems like a huge regression from what we had with iTunes. It doesn’t seem to be able to import or export OPML, the standard format for lists of podcast subscriptions. When I deleted the shows on my phone, only some of the changes synced back to the Mac. Even deleting individual items is much more cumbersome than in the iOS version, where you can go into Edit mode and then tap-tap-tap to delete them. ![]() Podcasts for Mac doesn’t seem to have any way to bulk-delete shows, or even to make a multi-selection. So, naturally I wanted to delete all those old podcasts and import my new ones. Instead, it left my iTunes library in place, not migrating it at all, and showed me the list of podcasts from years ago, before I had turned off the Sync podcast subscriptions and settings option in iTunes. Now I need to remember to restore from backup before it gets overwritten, heh.īeware. For some reason the “sensible default” in the new app is to delete anything beyond the most recent ten episodes. The new Podcasts app deleted years of downloaded podcasts when I updated, including a lot that are no longer hosted on the web.
